Is there karma?

[Tai Shi]

Jundo says life creates reactions that’s how I see Karma. Equal opposite reactions except they aren’t equal. There seems to be differing reactions to actions that are not proportional. Take prison sentences for example.

From the usage of the word to simply mean "action", and the cycle of action-reaction, and the connected web of actions that create things as we know them I definitely see karma as such. Whether or not there is a deeper level to karma beneath the surface, a spiritual sense, that carries over from past lifetimes and determines events (of a personal sense) in our current lives I can only say "I don't know" but I think I can't hurt to act like it does.

It can't hurt to act like it does, avoiding greed, anger, jealousy and all the rest.

In my universe people aren't punished but there are consequences for actions. If I hurt someone, I can make it right or live with guilt and shame. Even those with the least social awareness live with the results always tormented in the now. If one is kind, or indifferent, or hurtful they create those actions in themselves. If a person realizes they are wrong it is possible to get off the elevator on any floor, or change direction of the cubical. Karma means if I realize I am wrong, admit it, even my worst behaviors can change. I can become different, can make right the past, make amends. Life isn't a vale of tears, but can be a joyful. I have found joy, accepted my suffering, but not always. As I see it, change my vision to a new pair of glasses; however, still a work in progress.

That's right, Karma works in positive ways
